listen folks, kiss armando’s good-bye. it’s gone.
Let’s hope that the storefront does not stay vacant for four years.
Given its location it is bound to be a business geared to the daytime civic center foot traffic. Maybe an au bon pain, or a
Paz sandwich shop or one of those downtown high foot traffic type of joints. What do you want? artesinal cheeses?

Not only is the restaurant defunct, but its sign used/uses an almost-gone (at least, for large-scale displays) lighting technology: neon.

Been to Times Square lately? It’s a sea of pre-programmed LED screens. No more neon.

Y’all can catch many of the great neon signs that reside, now only in memory (if your memory is of a certain age) here:
